One of the beat bands I've ever seen live. Sacked off Foo Fighters or was it KoL at IOW one year to watch them in the tent.
Quality.

I'm not sure San, just heard it years ago on the way to Anfied (yep, we lost). Loved it. Strangely enough was listening to it last Friday and was going to put something on here about it. Hope you enjoy it mate.

La Tristesse Durera is off their second album, Gold Against The Soul.
It means "the sadness continues" and is about an old soldier looking back on his life.
"I sold my medal, it paid a bill. It sells at market stalls, parades Milan catwalks".

La Tristesse Durera
Have not the Dickens what it's all about, but what a fuckin tune. Sort of lefty socialist band I like.
Bloke c is a brilliant singer, and bangs out a sweet solo on that.

Amazing band live. Even more so when they're playing the Holy Bible from start to finish. Can't wait for the second leg of the tour at the end of May.

Great live band. A bit average at writing songs but damned good at belting them out live.

They will end the gig with this.
They don't do encores.

Mike, As I say, music is all about opinions so i certainly don't expect everyone to agree with me about it and respect that if thats what floats ur boat then fair play..musically i can see why if its ur thing, live they must be good but for me, just a bit bland and 'shouty'.
i could name 20 bands or albums that i would put above them, they just never ticked a box for me.....

I wish I'd gone to the NYC, Boston and Chicago gigs last week.
Me and my nephew were considering it but it was too much money.

hairy, I've seen them more than any other band and the holy bible as an album is up there with anything done by any other. I know it's all about opinions but for me they're up there with anyone, especially live
